Thinking about it again, no, Borland probably still adheres to its old
habit of using the same library name for the two different libraries. The
libgds.so for Classic doesn't work with Superserver. But you should not be
trying to connect to a Firebird 1.5 server using an InterBase 7
client. The Firebird and Interbase paths forked four years ago.

You should use the libgds.so that is installed with the IB 7 Classic kit.
That client is not thread-safe.

But you said you were running Firebird 1.5. Are you trying to run IB 7 and
Firebird 1.5 on the same server? Or are you trying to connect to two
servers from one remote client?

OK, but check the symlinks in /usr/lib to make sure it's pointing
ultimately to libfbclient.so.1.5.0 in /opt/firebird/lib.
